@Carl et al. Could you share your thoughts in FM radio in smartphones. No OnePlus device has ever had this, but to me it seems like a really great feature to be included for your customers. Is including FM radio something OnePlus would consider for a future device (hopefully without any excessive cost premium)?

Our delta between GBP and INR price is around 20% and not 25%. This difference exists because the cost of doing business in different regions differ. You can verify this by studying any company with a global sales network. With IP certification, water ingress is generally not covered by warranty. Again, you can verify this by studying other brands.

Our approach is to build a phone with water resistance so that you don't have to worry about splashes or weather in daily use. Let me know if this makes sense.

As for the India price difference, I again feel you're taking a liberty by charging people (who couldn't attend the launch) £69 for the bullets when they are USD69 too (£51 plus sales tax) and €69 (£60).

I've been a fan since first laying eyes on the OP3 and will be selling my Soft Gold OP5 to upgrade. But I'm really worried about the fingerprints on the glossy one. This wasn't an issue with the gold phone. At the launch they were constantly polishing the phones to hide this problem, which is why I was looking at getting the matte black that hardly showed any fingerprints. Why are you not doing that version at the base price, given you know how important price is to many users?

And you haven't really answered the waterproofing question. How long can it actually be realistically submerged? I don't need an IP certification - I can take it on trust if you say you expect it to be able to take photos underwater like the Samsung

We changed the design on Alert Slider not only because DND is changing but it is the what we hear from our users. We will keep an eye on feedback for this change on the OP6, and see about adding to the 5/5T

Are you freaking kidding me!?! You broke the slider with the very first OOS Beta on the OP3 and after almost two years of complaining of OP3/T/5/T users, a dumb tweet by yourstruly and an apparently useless survey, you still have the nerve to say you "see about adding to the 5/5T"... smh

typical OnePlus d-move!
Thanks for once again showing the community how much you really care.

Oxygen OSs biggest USP was that it stayed close to stock Android. Unfortunately, this isn't true any more; settings UI doesn't match with AOSP for Oreo, Notification shade and status bar icons do not match with AOSP styles, there are plenty such instances where OOS has gotten quite different from stock UX, do you plan to address these gaps? or is it a deliberate choice in favour of your UX research?

1) A question I've seen a lot on the forums:
"Is it dual SIM dual active, or dual SIM dual stand by?"

2) Why has DASH charge been renamed to Fast Charging? My guess was to be consistent with the earphones charging (which while Fast, isn't DASH charge speeds, right?), but it seems in India it hasn't been rebranded?

Thanks for this AMA by the way.

We had this for the OnePlus X but didn't see much usage to be honest. Both downloaded and streamed music has so much better fidelity. In addition, with online radio, I'm quite curious about why you'd be looking for this?
